Well the time has come ... Finally finished preparing the bike for Spain - I think! Got the 15/41 sprockets on for the road journey down through France on all the small roads I can find. Since the Devon Tour - which I really enjoyed despite the lack of the morning bacon roll - I've taken Gruffs advice and:...
Now this looks like a good example of an Africa Twin, look how clean it is. Id love one of these, could mean i can undertake a trip late next year then!!! On ebay, but dont know how to make the numbers live 180530699270
Another excellent event, thanks to all who organised it & those who set it all up. I did over 30 laps (stopped counting after 20 ) with only one badger type thing. On a plus side though I tried a 'Noel' & managed several laps without putting a foot down. I also did a lap sat down all the way round, a...
I must admit I had to look at the website to see where this country is I have had a few emails with a TTR250 owner, Jean-Louis Couderc, who is the tour guide for "Jules Classic Adventure" - see www.bike-raid-laos.com In his latest email Jean-Louis says:"Do not hesitate to come to La...

I'm a very happy chappy because I passed the Module 2 part of the A2 test earlier today. Only had two rider errors for an indicator that didn't stay on and my positioning when I was turning right into a road. Out of a possible 15 errors, including those from Module 1, that I could have picked up, I only recei...

Been trying to contact Jez all day today and no reply to his phone. Anyone know what's happening? Did his hospital trip go OK - is he on holiday perhaps? TTR
When a rider said his exhaust was under 94db I looked to see what info I could find on noise limits.Seems the bike in question should be restricted to closed course events. While as far as I am aware Devon and Cornwall police do not have noise testing equipment,if it sounds loud it is too loud. Unwelco...
Of rivers being low and ford being ridden for the 1st time in ages make me wonder........? Perhaps a trip to Harty country is in order to look at 192-003 and 181-049
For one fleeting hour or so of madness I almost purchased DRZ 400 on fleabay. I had a mind to have something a little bigger cc wise than the KTM that would cope better on the longer haul without needing a engine rebuild every other lamp post. Was a S model, so not the prefered E. A 2003 but had many new parts a...

An excellent day with thanks to the effort put into this by all the 'knowledgeable' ones. A really good informative day with loads of humour but clear information put across, & a ride around Haccadown with only a few other bikes (plus one enormous quad). I have to say a special thanks to Kerry (Los...

Thank you. The first of the two is my run across Dartmoor. A bit insane I know as it'll be about 60 miles but I've worked hard for it since deciding to it in December. It's in aid of Riders For Health, an organisation that I'm keenly and deeply interested in. You can find more by visiting; http://www.justg...
